[feral zodiac]

Ehh

[earnest leaf]

He is a main tank that creates space much differently compared to the other MTs

[grizzled mango]

I think ball can be played decently with other main tanks but yeah he's naturally mtank

[feral zodiac]

Has yeatle proven himself in contenders on anything other than ball

[cobalt spoke]

Yea

[grizzled mango]

He hasn't proven shit in contenders

[feral zodiac]

And if so, what

[cobalt spoke]

He plays some zarya and dva too, im pretty sure

[grizzled mango]

Yeatle is like 4400 4500 off tank

[cobalt spoke]

Ok

[feral zodiac]

Did he play it in contenders

[grizzled mango]

You cant go pro in contender with that

[feral zodiac]

Uh

[cobalt spoke]

And shock tryouts said 4400+

[feral zodiac]

You realise the boundary is 4400

[cobalt spoke]

hes 4500 anyway

Not 4400

[grizzled mango]

4400 won't make owl

His ball may be good enough and maybe he can be a ball specialist. There are opem trials so we will see

[feral zodiac]

We were discussing contenders

Not owl

[grizzled mango]

Good contenders team won't get 4400 players

[cobalt spoke]

And yeatle is 4700 on ball, and rank 1

[grizzled mango]

Also yeatle has either no or really bad history with contender cant remember for sure

[feral zodiac]

Still?

I thought he dropped from rank 1

[grizzled mango]

Actually I am pretty confident he never made it to contender

[cobalt spoke]

For reference space is rank 1

[grizzled mango]

Failed in open trial

[cobalt spoke]

He won open trials

[feral zodiac]

His team split up

That's why he isn't in contenders rn

But he is currently LFT iirc

[grizzled mango]

I see, like I said I'm not doubting but walk the talk

Teams are doing open trial. Join an iwl team and dominate nyxl and i will take my word back

[hot heart]

I think yeatle could be a ball specialist for teams

[cobalt spoke]

And ameng isnt proving himself, his team got knocled out by nyxl in there meta

[feral zodiac]

The entirety of chengdu aren't proving themselves

[cobalt spoke]

Its unlucky that lateyoung couldnt be there....

[feral zodiac]

So that's not exactly a fair statement

[hot heart]

If you put yeatle in amengs shoes he'd lose too

[earnest leaf]

didn't chengdu bench their other MT to run ameng on ball

Instead of other MTs

[feral zodiac]

Yes

[cobalt spoke]

Yea

And its not going very well

[grizzled mango]

if you are on the side of yeatle, I dont think you really understand how top ladder works. Even top ladders and contenders is a different game. Rank 1 doesn't mean that you will carry in owl

ameng was playing well

The other main tank was playing like hot shit

[cobalt spoke]

Ok, ameng is a very good player, but he wasnt playing well in that instance

He is usally better than that

[grizzled mango]

Yeatle conveniently chose his worst map of the season not even joking

[cobalt spoke]

Ok

[grizzled mango]

I'm not even an ameng fan but yeatles take is a yikes

[cobalt spoke]

And its in the playoffs

It didnt get any better, I watched that match

[grizzled mango]

he played better later on. Even then nyxl is a good team

We talking about the same game? The game went full length

[hot heart]

We should probably stop talking about this

It doesnt really matter

[grizzled mango]

True

I am just waiting for yeatle to follow up and dominate owl

[karmic grotto]

[karmic grotto]

But but

The potential

[hot heart]

True

"Its time for a return"

The return pogU

[karmic grotto]

Yes

OG blizzard

Not Blizzard that's now tied with Activion

Dreamhaven sounds nice as well

I'm hopeful for the future

pls make overwatch equivalent to Valorant

As long as they don't take 5 years to make a game

[tulip shore]

equivalent to valorant ?

it is already better game than valorant

[karmic grotto]

Overwatch equivalent

To valorant

It's an analogy

[tulip shore]

you mean like csgo with abilities type of game ?

[karmic grotto]

Csgo <> valorant

Overwatch <> (...)

[tulip shore]

i see

[karmic grotto]

Yeah

I mean

If they can truly bring an experience to gamers

That Blizzard can not give because of Activision right now

[tulip shore]

who knows what they will make

[karmic grotto]

If will force Activision to take measures

Because they have been only out there or get money

[tulip shore]

they can probably secure big funding

[karmic grotto]

Yeah

They're already well known people

They have the name branding already

One of the things I do admire from Blizzard, is giving the spectators a temporal pc, monitors and keyboard

Was cool

But still

....

[tulip shore]

temporal pc ?

[karmic grotto]

Yes

The ones that, spectate the game in teams, use custom pc's from Blizzard as loan

And pheriphals

[tulip shore]

in owl ?

[karmic grotto]

Yes

[tulip shore]

and you mean like bren sideshow

etc etc

[karmic grotto]

No

The people who move the cameras

[tulip shore]

ah right

[karmic grotto]

They work un teams

They're a head camera director, and then people below him

They have multiple teams

[tulip shore]

yeah they should definitely be lent the equipment to ensure quality of the capture

[next mesa]

idk bro if they are making like a warcraft type game I wouldn't be interested

[karmic grotto]

I see, yes

[tulip shore]

yeah i hope they don't just decide to make "old blizzard game for da fans"

[karmic grotto]

But maybe they will release games you will like

[tulip shore]

and use a bit of creativity

think that market is fairly limited anyway

[next mesa]

overwatch literally perfect game

for me

idk what can make it better

like just core design wise

[karmic grotto]

Well

That's we thought of other games

And look, gaming studios have been using creativity

Overwatch lasting 10+ years depends on how Blizzard KUCH KUCH ACTIVISION

[next mesa]

true

[hot heart]

Overwatch rn and the newest patch remind me why i enjoy this game so much

[karmic grotto]

[hot heart]

Okay

[light marten]

i hate when people say ow is a dead game

[balmy wolf]

it is

for them

:)

[light marten]

but then literally the entire ow gang rises up

[balmy wolf]

yeah

and theyre full of losers

[light marten]

uhh the ow gang?

or the people that say its ded

[balmy wolf]

its their opinion

cant stand hearing it

close your ears

[light marten]

uhh ok lmao

[karmic grotto]

Not gonna lie, have you checked dreamhaven moonshot and secret door pages?

Awesome af

[next mesa]

pretty pog

why is their website so fuckin good lol

[karmic grotto]

That dreamhaven logo is perfect

[next mesa]

well

it's prob gonna be like

5 years before they get anything out

[karmic grotto]

Maybe less

But yes

[next mesa]

small team and all that

[karmic grotto]

Blizzard started small one day

He's ex Blizzard so he knows how it goes

The future

[next mesa]

It just all depends on the type of game

[karmic grotto]

True

What type of game do you think they will be able to create

In a short/fast period

[next mesa]

card game, lol

something that doesn't require a lot of animation

I don't know really

don't got no experience on game design

[tulip shore]

from what they said doesn't sound like a shooter game

or a card game really

if it has any bearing on the game they make

[karmic grotto]

Anything is possible

[next mesa]

what if they made something like minecraft except really good graphics

[karmic grotto]

They had people working on heroes of the storm

[tulip shore]

'epic adventures, sharing stories'

[next mesa]

and multiplayer

[karmic grotto]

Hots soon became overwatch

[next mesa]

like you know hytale

that but not shit graphics

[karmic grotto]

XD

[next mesa]

that would be cute

[karmic grotto]

Games with shitty graphics lol

If our pc's were stronger we could play Overwatch at ultra 4k

[next mesa]

I mean it's not shit graphics

[karmic grotto]

Imagine that in future

[next mesa]

just the design

intentional

oh yeah

[karmic grotto]

Ah

[next mesa]

I mean I don't got 4k monitor

so

[karmic grotto]

Overwatch is actually beautiful on ultra

Kinda sad

Almost nobody uses ultra

:/

[next mesa]

bruh my gpu can't handle it

low gang

[upper niche]

Overwatch at 4k? You can do that now.

Blizzard has never been known for making graphics intensive games.

Did he retire or something

[raw ermine]

Military

[hot heart]

Oh

How much does he have left?

Hopefully we see him next season

I remember the guy being pretty good ngl

[raw ermine]

Left around 4 months ago

service in SK is 2 years

so thats 4/24 months

so approx 16.6% done

[hot heart]

Well fuck

TiZi would make bank rn

he was a nice edition to the titians

but in the end

titians...

when will the all star skins be released

[hot heart]

26th or 28th i think

[next mesa]

well all sstars starts 26 so probably that day

[vagrant jacinth]

Skins available from 29th - Oct 12th

[hollow ruin]

That's ok

[next mesa]

o

alright

idk if I have enough coins though

[plush grail]

400 for both

[next mesa]

what the fuck

oh

for both

alright

[plush grail]

yeah

200 each

[next mesa]

I was like 400 for 1 lol

[plush grail]

400 for both

[next mesa]

yeah

I thinkI barely have 200

might get the dva one

but I almost just might wait for fleta mvp skin

[silk frost]

I didn't even THINK about that

Can't wait for weightlifter echo

honestly

yeah im saving for echo

[torn fossil]

I'd get the echo one

[feral zodiac]

Fucking shit

[raw ermine]

?

[feral zodiac]

I'm not able to get the skins

[hot heart]

Tbh

Imma just buy reins one

It looks to good to pass up on

[next mesa]

dynasty will win guys

2 words: playoff profit

[tulip shore]

might buy the rein one on 2 accounts

[vagrant jacinth]

On one hand i want the old spitfire boys to win, on the other I don't wanna see a Seoul W

[hot heart]

Cheer for philly then

@vagrant jacinth

[gloomy vector]

i want philly to get 2nd it would be so funny i dont really care who wins in all reality

[vagrant jacinth]

Yeah I'm like rooting for shock. It's be funny if Philly were 2nd again

[next mesa]

why do you not want a seoul W

please

seoul can't get a single W

[hot heart]

The pain philly players would feel if they got 2nd

[next mesa]

anyway

realistically

like taking off my clown seoul mask for a second

im just rooting for dragons

[digital cloud]

they probably have a decent shot

shock are gods but they haven't looked perfect in this meta

and dragons have been improving mightily each season

[next mesa]

dragons can run dive and hog comps at the highest level

while for shock only super can play hog and main tank at a high level

imo

but this is all based on assumptions

[digital cloud]

I mean they have had a bit

[next mesa]

like the first round they play in they can spawncamp dragons

and I would be like

hmm, ok

[digital cloud]

shock probably has a god hog by now

[next mesa]

smurf?

because ideally you would want him to be able to switch

mid game

wait no choi is hog

[digital cloud]

they got ta1yo to do it or something idk

[next mesa]

so smurf zarya

yeah but I think

[digital cloud]

point being shock can probably figure something out for that

[next mesa]

you wouldn't want to be stuck on hog

yeah

maybe if smurf improves on zarya

[keen aurora]

idk why but im still sad nyxl chose to be in asia area

[next mesa]

they would get so much more dubs

If they were in na ngl

[keen aurora]

This is prob there worst season but there going against people a little bit there skill

They were lucky to get in the loser brackets

[feral zodiac]

NY wouldn't have gotten as far in na as they did in apac

[next mesa]

well record wise yeah

but honestly their team was more stacked than ever

with the addition of haksal

[earnest leaf]

Super and smurf have been playing a good amount of hog lately on stream but probably doesn't mean a lot

[next mesa]

I thought the were sticking with choi on hog

I guess not

[earnest leaf]

Who knows

maybe in scrims they had better success with a MT on hog and choi on zar

We'll have to see what Crusty whips up for finals weekend

Also i'm gonna guess that finals weekend is going to be dive most of the time

And only seoul running hog to win it all or get yeeted out early

[next mesa]

yes

fr

[raw ermine]

Choi was a meh zarya no?

I would think they want him on zarya

and like

a dps on zarya

ta1yo zarya good?

[next mesa]

striker on zarya

[earnest leaf]

The issue with a dps on zarya is that it makes you incredibly inflexible

So if the enemy is ramming your ass into space with dive, you can't swap

[tropic herald]

Or you do

And die hard

Like justice

[next mesa]

yes

exactly

[balmy wolf]

its seems the best hog comps are sig/dva with hog so realistically smurf or super will be on hog

while choi covers sig/dva

hog/zarya gets fucked hard by sigma/hog variant

[next mesa]

I don't know dude

haven't we been seeing some rush dive with reaper sombra lucio moira

[umbral zodiac]

budget brawl and budget dive

[balmy wolf]

it really depends on the map

maps like volk favor zen dive

however im pretty confident you're gonna see a fuckton of hog

[next mesa]

bro

that's just seoul's specialty baby

gesture's hog is 20 inch long schlong big dong

[balmy wolf]

i guess u didnt see the dragons vs seoul game

[next mesa]

yeah actually

dragons beat seoul in their comp

whic hwas kinda sad

dragons pulled out the hog right

[balmy wolf]

they barely beat with dive and then mirrored them

since its not worth playing dive into hog

[next mesa]

I think seoul managed to force dragons into showing their hands

[balmy wolf]

justice beat a lot of teams who tried to play dive, but the moment someone was able to mirror hog effectively they lost

philly did it best against justice

[tropic herald]

Playing monkey into hog sucks on that patch

[forest gazelle]

Hey all, kinda stepped out of all things overwatch not long before Ashe came out. Last thing i remember about OWL is Dragons cant win a game. Hows OWL going now?

Oh and Dynasty couldnt be beat

[cobalt spoke]

Ok

So theres 20 teams instead of 12

And there split up into na and asia because of that rona

And shock is best team in na, and shanghai is the best team in asia

Also, do you actually think these high level teams will be playing mostly hog? No

Widow dive or ashe dive with zen mercy is ridiculously good into hog comps

Philly, dragons and shock know how to counter hog effectively

Souel could just drown

[digital cloud]

he is kidding yubo

seoul was never good

also you might be kidding but I am not as sure

[cobalt spoke]

Im not

[forest gazelle]

From what i remember, seoul was annoying at how much they won lol

[balmy wolf]

hog comps suit seoul very well, they almost did beat dragons and took 1st seed

from what i've seen, if u cant run dive with snipers on some maps then hog is played instead

[grizzled mango]

I think we see a lot more hog sigma double sniper with mercy zen on some maps

Prolly will see winston dive with ana as well

[karmic grotto]

Tomorrow all stars

[balmy wolf]

not gonna lie i think shanghai is gonna win

they already won the mvp

and now they won the playoofs

playoffs

[strange coral]

[forest gazelle]

How did shanghai make such a big turnaround after having the longest losing streak?

[feral zodiac]

Good management, good coaching, smart signings

And the improvement of fearless

[karmic grotto]

no u r fearless

[next mesa]

seoul was only good in like maybe the first third of first season

otherwise literally mediocre as fuk

[plush grail]

seoul is so fucking weird

when there's no tournament

they fucking feed and throw

when there's a tournament

they always make it to finals

only to get reverse swept by shanghai

[balmy wolf]

Theyre very inconsistent

[plush grail]

they're just odd

Carpe v diem pog

And ans v baconjack lmao

[round cargo]

Why do so many pros play with 2.03 1600dpi instead of just 2 1600 dpi or 4 800 dpi

[raw ermine]

Carpe Vs Diem?

I kinda wanted to see them make their ways to the finals again

[next mesa]

hello

why we not talking about sp9rkle vs haksal

holy shit

[vagrant jacinth]

So fucking hype

[true hound]

Why do so many pros play with 2.03 1600dpi instead of just 2 1600 dpi or 4 800 dpi
@round cargo they might have used that PSA method thing

and got weird decimal values

[round cargo]

I get what you mean but it'd seem odd for them all to end at exactly 2.03

I asked some streamers who used it in high gm and they say a friend recommended the value

its so strange to me

[true hound]

dunno

im close

I use 800/4.04

[feral zodiac]

Bet baconjack beats ans

[raw ermine]

ppl would go apeshit

and crusty would

well

we don't know what would happen there

[vagrant jacinth]

Would be jokes lmao

[next mesa]

would be surprised but like

it's just widow 1v1

like, surefour beat carpe, but is he really the better widow

[hot heart]

Sp9rk1e VS haksal

Bro

Now i gotta see this

[earnest leaf]

thing is ans might roll since he does do a good amount of widow 1v1 stuff

or the widow arena thingys

But who knows

Baconjack could snort some gfuel and pound

[next mesa]

yeah like you never know

[true hound]

never underestimate chengdu

[next mesa]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if jinmu won tbh

there was this comment on reddit

if you put genji's shurikens to 2 damage each jinmu will still try to play genji

[karmic grotto]

oh shit

haksal vs sparkle

But also, jinmu and profit

Finally

The battle we waited for

It will be legendary

[hot heart]

Hmm

I think profit is gonna roll

Since the guy plays everything

[karmic grotto]

These widowmaker battles though

Sad, I wish it was FFA

[next mesa]

idk

profit can play everything but I don't think anybody is touching haksal in genji

[hot heart]

Hmm

Probably

Imagine if jinnu wins

Tbh i can see him taking it

[digital cloud]

jinmu is probably underrated here

I think he has a chance

In 70 minutes

[plush grail]

maybe they're gonna release the mvp skin early

to prevent stuff like the sinatraa mvp skin

because it took a whole year and sinatraa ended up leaving for another game

[balmy wolf]

doubt

their skin schedule is typically made a year in advance

[plush grail]

still kinda annoying imo

we get the skin 1 year later

after the hype for it kinda dies down

Genji timw

Haksal yessir

[errant night]

I cant find where to watch the matches on the site, i need my tokens

lol found it

[tawdry hamlet]

I had to search overwatch league and click on top result for the all star shit to show up

for some reason the autofill result didn't have it

[errant night]

was looking through the schedula and all stars page

but it was really just on main page

[tawdry hamlet]

yee me too

[fierce ferry]

can you watch the complete allstars event in the app?

for tokens

[tawdry hamlet]

I honestly have not seen it on the app at all so not sure

[fierce ferry]

but can you watch on the site?

[karmic grotto]

uhm

ult is too fast

I don't like it

I want to see more 1v1 mechanical play

[tawdry hamlet]

yeah you can watch on the site

[karmic grotto]

Not ult bots

[tawdry hamlet]

it is on the main page

[errant night]

JJonak ks highly

SHU

[tawdry hamlet]

rip violet

[sullen berry]

Shu clutched that a little too late

[tawdry hamlet]

Highly popped off a bit too

[errant night]

just me getting "An unexpected error ocurred" rn?

[outer zenith]

Things are a-ok on my end.

[sullen berry]

refresh should do the trick

[errant night]

i did get the error even when refreshing but its fine now

[tawdry hamlet]

jjonak wild

actually wild

[sullen berry]

black forest was a terrible map choice for 9 different players

this game mode is definitely more fun with 8+ players on Chateau

[tawdry hamlet]

I mean the better players still won imo considering the teams jjonak and violet

just a bruh map pick

for a 1v1 sniper ffa

[sullen berry]

weird to know that the NA broadcast blindsighed by the broadcast and the custom game mode

[outer zenith]

Yeah, but it's a missed opportunity, passing up on Chataeu. That said, some of the Chateau spawn points are horrendous in Ana paintball.

[sullen berry]

it probably goes down as the fastest ever match ever played on stream

[outer zenith]

Good on Highly bringing it back though.

Was looking shaky to start.

[idle gorge]

fdgod, what a legend

[karmic grotto]

I use bilibili.

all the rolestars are so deserved

dps predictions: xzi, fleta, carpe and ans

[sullen berry]

Tank Role stars - APAC 3-1
Support Role stars - NA 3-1
DPS - ? ?

[idle gorge]

maybe ans for another shock player

but that are my predictions

oh striker

i'd say striker is more deserving than ans

bye and striker in

my predictions are: xzi, fleta, carpe and striker

decay maybe

[outer zenith]

Gun game.

[sullen berry]

DPS: Carpe, Fleta, Xzi
Maybe: Rascal, Eileen, Birdring

[idle gorge]

rascal wins

rascal wins hero gauntlet

i don't think rascal will be it

striker is more deserving imo

but i think decay should get one too but idk for who

[sullen berry]

that's what makes him ineligible

[idle gorge]

wym

[outer zenith]

Oh...

[idle gorge]

fuck i have a game rn

[outer zenith]

We've begun.

[sullen berry]

Birdring > Glister > Haksal > ANS > Rascal > Deadkuft guy > Sp9rkl3

Fleta probably crying happy tears

someone else is a hard carry on their teams too

I'm going to call this a fluke that 6 players were all stuck on ana at the same time

poor leave

lost to a post on bastion v nano ana

[errant night]

LUL

That hook!

[sullen berry]

birdring struggle city

[errant night]

aww, he did so well

[sullen berry]

Haksal TORB

LEAVE

[outer zenith]

HAMMER TIME

[sullen berry]

WAIT WHAT IS HAPPENING

[outer zenith]

[sullen berry]

!jumbo

[sullen berry]

Rascal took it off Leave

that was unbelievably close

[errant night]

aw, i really hoped birdring would win

Yeah, super close. 3 torbs?

[outer zenith]

That was really fun.

[sullen berry]

Watching Birding was sad once he was on rein - time to learn how to get charge kills from LHCloudy

[errant night]

yeah

the rein screwed him over

[sullen berry]

he was using charge for movement

which is cursed in hero gauntlet

[errant night]

yep

[sullen berry]

getting ready for a dps role stars announcement

!!when

[young fractal]

soon™️

[idle gorge]

who won?

[errant night]

rascal

[idle gorge]

i said rascal would win

[sullen berry]

Fleta was the gatekeeper

for um

his own match

[idle gorge]

to me rascal was an pretty obvious pick

cause rascal can play almost every hero

[sullen berry]

nobody expected leave or glister to be way up there

[errant night]

god damn,i need the rein skin but i only have 92 tokens :|

[outer zenith]

Skins look great as always, but I'm not going to lie either - It's a bit predictable.

Better swap up the colors for next year.

[sullen berry]

mmm, you know it

it's the least they can do to subvert the expecations

[outer zenith]

Males can wear the nice blue too.

[errant night]

eh i kinda like the consistent style on the all star skins

[sullen berry]

they already gave dps, then the supports

logical conclusion, just make more sigma wear shoes and DVa into a fighter jet

[errant night]

I cant wait until they start doing the matches at arenas again

felt like it was just more hype

nah sigma needs his feet smh

but honestly a d.va skin as a black fighter jet would be awesome

[sullen berry]

I don't recall if you got an official OWL D.Va skin as part of the all-access pass

Asia Talent Takedown is happening now

this is going to be so jarring for the audience at first

but achilios / wolf are the best casters for this match

[idle gorge]

talent takedown is the match where the casters play against each other right

[sullen berry]

Chengdu Hunters vs Seoul Dynasty, an alternate dimension

yeah

[idle gorge]

and is that match rn?

[sullen berry]

because it's not the NA All stars, we have casters and players from their respective regions against each other

yup

coming up right now

[errant night]

Does geguri still play?

[idle gorge]

i probably don't know any of them

[sullen berry]

Geguri is on the bench for Shanghai Dragons

[errant night]

ah okay

I miss s4 on glads :(

[sullen berry]

c'mon yangxiaolong

[idle gorge]

i hope the double thing

wait is it already happening?

[sullen berry]

I love this already

[idle gorge]

cause for me it's still on the screen

[sullen berry]

Yeah I'm watching ahead

[errant night]

For me their listing names

[idle gorge]

how do you watch ahead?

[errant night]

Wait oh in the game?

[tawdry hamlet]

he is on china stream

[idle gorge]

or is this from last year?

[errant night]

oh

[idle gorge]

oh

yes it's the one i'm hoping

[idle gorge]

i'm watching on the app

[sullen berry]

ah rip

[idle gorge]

for the points

it's starting for me now

[errant night]

wait how can you do higher playback speed on a livestream?

[sullen berry]

first teams to don the unavailable all stars skins

it's the youtube player form the official OWL website

[idle gorge]

this is genious

[errant night]

ooh, i have 102 tokens. Do you think i could get 98 more before the all star skins are gone?

[idle gorge]

i think so

[sullen berry]

it's your boy, Roy

nice Zarya

[idle gorge]

but that's quite a lot of hours

[sullen berry]

and 9Duo poppin' with YXL

[errant night]

I guess i'll have to, i need the rein skin

[idle gorge]

why aren't they playing hog he'd be op in this mode

[tawdry hamlet]

It is not showing on the app for me

[idle gorge]

i just baught the ps4 credit needed for it

[sullen berry]

double damage is pog

look at them go

[idle gorge]

wait flux will instakill lmao

[outer zenith]

This is mostly just for fun. No need to play optimally.

[sullen berry]

if every OWL match was like this

[idle gorge]

still hog would be fun to play

[sullen berry]

I'd buy tickets to follow the teams at EVERY homestand

[idle gorge]

cause he'd fuck through everyone

[sullen berry]

Musbi has the pacific skin (the colours are messing with me)

[hot heart]

Jehong

[errant night]

I really wanna go to a match when they play in arena again

but its far as heck

[hot heart]

Its so weird and cool to see his name on an OWL stream again

[idle gorge]

that was really hectic and fun

[outer zenith]

I just want to see a Chengdu / Spark homestead.

[idle gorge]

wait are we hearing their comms?

[sullen berry]

yeah there's a listen in they do for these matches

[hot heart]

Ye brick moverw

[idle gorge]

ye we are lmao

ok i have a game again :(

but also :)

[sullen berry]

Hey look it's me with my pro player gamertag @outer zenith

[outer zenith]

I want these All-Stars skins.

[hot heart]

9duo just rolling

[outer zenith]

I should say, I want these Pacific/Atlantic skins.

[hot heart]

Jehong

On zarya

[viral veldt]

Double tokens?

[sullen berry]

there's no announcement for APAC stream

I assume they're not until NA broadcast

[viral veldt]

Aight ty

[hot heart]

If someone took a screenshot of that with no context and showed it to me id think i was cooked or something

[outer zenith]

Roy's our boy!

[sullen berry]

can't c9 if you can't get out of spawn

LUL

[hot heart]

5head

[sullen berry]

Wow wolf at his most uncomfortable/casual

[outer zenith]

Wow, they actually picked corresponding maps for this series.

Wonder what the tiebreaker map is then.

[sullen berry]

they're also playing best of 3

so this could be a map 3 decider

[outer zenith]

Ah.

[plush grail]

So what happened to the team shop?

[sullen berry]

oh that post on youtube?

nothing, they're waiting until NA All stars begins i guess

[plush grail]

Wait really

But didn't they tweet yesterday

To wait for tonight

[sullen berry]

no token drops (yet), despite this pointless message

[tawdry hamlet]

I got a five point drop

token

[sullen berry]

you know, I don't blame wolf being unprepared for this

but it's the loosest he's ever sounded

[tawdry hamlet]

honestly they both look unprepared af on commentary

[idle gorge]

are they still doing that 100 point drop thing

[tawdry hamlet]

doesn't even feel like an official event lmao

[sullen berry]

not used to him stuttering and pausing and also falling apart at this Korean roster isn't working lel

Going to busan next

[idle gorge]

we just had control

[sullen berry]

yep NA broadcasting people who gave them info either did nothing or had no clue either

🙂

just at the mercy of the APAC stream/production with no two-way communication

[tawdry hamlet]

so am I dumb or does the fast forwarding thing actually work lmao

and wtf is the point of it

[sullen berry]

it's largely because YT has higer latency than bilibili

so you're always a few seconds behind when you think it's actually realtime

[idle gorge]

double mei lmao

[sullen berry]

total mayhem control would be insane

[idle gorge]

wait they had 2 zarya 2 torb and 2 mei

[sullen berry]

normally in arcade it's on hybrid or payload map

[outer zenith]

HAMMER TIME

[sullen berry]

Jehong dominating on Widow

[idle gorge]

they're doing it really fun even though it isn't in person

[jagged crater]

who are these other players

[idle gorge]

casters from the apac region

[sullen berry]

haha jehong whose that

[jagged crater]

are they good

[idle gorge]

isn't jehong that ana god?

[sullen berry]

same one

@jagged crater I think this Ryujehong person is about as good as Bren

[jagged crater]

did the fans tell guxue to cosplay or something?

quite a commitment

[idle gorge]

which ana player am i thinking of then?

that guy on seoul

[sullen berry]

it's the same ryujehong

[idle gorge]

oh

ok

but he doesn't play anymore

[sullen berry]

He was dropped from Seoul when they didn't make it into top 8

[idle gorge]

i didn't know that

[sullen berry]

Course he does

[fickle flicker]

which event is this?

[idle gorge]

all stars

[fickle flicker]

yes, which one? what's the game rules?

[idle gorge]

mystery heroes

it's telent takedown

[sullen berry]

Mystery Heroes, every death you return as a different hero at random

that's how you can have multiple heroes at once

[fickle flicker]

oh it's mystery

[sullen berry]

this is a good match 🙂

[fickle flicker]

thanks 🙂

[idle gorge]

jehong on ana

[sullen berry]

YTB doomfist going to be good

[idle gorge]

he's flanking lmao

jehong throwing

[sullen berry]

Jehong gets his pick - everyone on Brick Movers immediately dive onto him to stop a snowball

[idle gorge]

jehong was throwing there

[sullen berry]

now that's a fat W for team China

so KR chose not to play Total Mayhem on control smh

25 minutes for the title Widow 1v1 quarter finals match

CARPE vs DIEM

[idle gorge]

carpe takes it

[sullen berry]

carpe redemption after being smacked hard last year by nenne

[balmy wolf]

but diem won last year

[sullen berry]

Rules if you were asking

[balmy wolf]

or am i dumb

[sullen berry]

no you're right

carpe eliminated by nenne

[balmy wolf]

ah yes

[sullen berry]

it's possible in workshop mode to restrict the number of crouches per second

[balmy wolf]

carpe diem is pretty much 1 person

[sullen berry]

take one drink each time Happy whiffs a shot

that would have been a headshot

[balmy wolf]

baconjack gonna roll ans

i bet

[fickle flicker]
